Antivirus/Mail Server - 14 Sep 2004

Symantec also won our third antivirus award: Best Antivirus/Mail Server. Symantec Mail Security for SMTP enjoyed a comfortable margin over its nearest competitors, earning 39 percent of the vote to Trend Micro's 16 percent and McAfee's 15 percent.

Mail Security provides high-performance, integrated mail protection against virus threats, spam, and other unwanted content at the Internet email (SMTP) gateway. The software defends against new and known viruses, and attachment- and subject-line-blocking features enhance protection against emerging threats. In addition, a new Mass-Mailer Cleanup feature eliminates worm-infected messages.
